Russian DJ and producer Evgenii Fadeev aka Flaty aka SERWED brings his long-running, many-aliased craft through Bleep Towers for an exclusive mix. As well as acting as a partial CV of his own illustrious achievements by including a smattering of unreleased Flaty and SERWED cuts, his mix celebrates the unsung heroes of the Russian underground electronic scene, from the sputtering dial tone dance of PROGLIKEM to the hard-to-pin-down microhouse of Lehrer and Ffyyoo. Flaty unearths an entire biome of fearless electronic creators subtly pushing the boundaries of club music away from the prying eyes of search engines. To quote a well-worn phrase, you can’t find this on the internet.

"I collected productions from Russian producers only for that mix + my stuff, mostly unreleased and forthcoming music there to showcase a layer of Russian contemporary avant-garde thought. Not only experienced producers here but also a few of my students works was included too." - Flaty

Flaty Oknocast With Visuals

With great joy, we announce the Music Camp podcast series, where we will share mixes from producers and DJs who follow the avant-garde of electronic music, sound design, and computer music in its broad expression. At least, we will start with this musical aspect.

The host of episode 001 is Flaty (@producedbyflaty) – a music producer, founder of the creative studio ANWO, a key artist of the GOST ZVUK label, and a current instructor at the sound design faculty at HSE Design School. At our request, Flaty has put together an hour-long compilation of amazing music that perfectly illustrates what awaits you in the camp cloud – deep, technological, and non-trivial electronics exploring a variety of musical forms and sound solutions.

By the way this is not only update we had prepared in collaboration with Evgenii (Flaty). Very soon, there will be another important announcement that will delve into the creative universe of the author – Music Camp Podcast 001.

Enjoy listening!

Podcast 001 - FLATY

Mixed from Moscow by @prasdov

The life-affirming selector mix was recorded for us by Moscow musician and event organizer, art director of the creative association @okno-club and co-founder of the once existed promo band @altmoscow - Prasdov. In early March, he self-released the album 'Things Happen'. 

«This mix for me is a mix about the arrival of spring. The playlist for it was collected for a few years. It contains respected electronics maestros, as well as some unreleased works of friends and soundcloud favorites. I tried to put the mix together in such a way that it would be pleasant to walk to along a sunny road - in the city, suburbs or mountains by the sea - and be in a good mood. The first track of the mix (after the intro - a dictaphone recording of a conversation with a cab driver) is a composition by Grisha Gorozhanin from a cassette we released on Alta. As Grisha said, the track is based on a recording of a street saxophonist playing at Chistye Prudy, whom he met while he was walking in the beginning of spring to get flowers. Those are probably the exact circumstances this mix was recorded for»

Follow Me (Part 1) [feat. Bloody Jay & Georgi Kay]

Mixed from Moscow by @settimatacca

We are excited to introduce you to a new story brought to life by Moscow-based multidisciplinary artist Apollinaria Kaspars, also known as Settima Tacca.

Despite her cinematic album Wondrous Feelings of Ages Long Gone released on vinyl last year, her latest self-published release, Demos 4 Nobody, has a much more outsider feel. It leans heavily on raw rhythms, minimalist synths, and guitar experiments. Although written four years ago, Polina’s discography today includes another venture in a similar vein: her collaboration with Ksenia Kruchinski in the krautrock and no-wave band Ksyusha. In 2023, they released an album titled Polina.

“I’m sitting in a house in a village near the town of Mozhaysk, looking out at a field through the window. Beyond it there is a mysterious and slightly unsettling young birch grove, an icy river called Iskona, and my favorite little forest with a ravine. That’s where my dog hunts foxes while I sit on different stumps, sipping chaga that tastes like Coca-Cola. When I write music, I take breaks to gaze out this window. Late autumn feels like early spring, except in spring, all the tall grass is flattened after a long sleep under the snow.

This is my mix, recorded in late spring, left lying in the summer grass, and soaked by autumn rains. It has become just as mysterious and slightly unsettling as that grove. But only I know this.”

Sophia Zhuravkova – Mixtape For W Λ V E S 110

Mixed from Tbilisi by @likhoy

We've missed such mixes in the series — a genre Frankenstein, compiled with a barely perceptible thread of the selector's intuition by the creator of the gunshot, airhorn & rewind channel and the @attentionmanagement label — Vasily Likhoy, aka Likhoy.

For the next hour, the devotee of the canonical rave sound will have their heartbeats tested by torn house, electro-dub edits, straight techno, and industrial trap.

«The mix is 80% tracks from sets in 2021-2022 + some rare stuff. Originally, I WAS SAVING them for another Year of the Dog, our series of illegal raves in abandoned places, but the last event was shut down by police long before it was my turn to play. You could call it the perfect version of a peak-time set for friends.»

GOST ZVUK x Dublab: guest show with Flaty

Mixed from Saint Petersburg by A. A.

Today we’re sharing a special mix, recorded back in the fall of 2022.
This new addition to the series comes from cultural theorist, music critic, and author of the Telegram channel "ain’t your pleasure" — Artyom Abramov, now known as A.A.

You might have come across his writing and interviews for syg.ma, reviews of the experimental record shop STELLAGE (now relaunched in Athens with worldwide delivery), book reviews for the Gorky project, and many other platforms exploring the edges of experimental music.

«An EBM-ish mix from artists based in Brazil — a country that long ago gave up on the tiresome robotic twitch of ’80s aesthetics and instead learned to channel the best of acid techno, carioca funk, and batucada into the genre. Favela-dance for everyone!»

Tracklist: 
Vanishing Point - Mary Pinchot
Tantão e os Fita - Ich Bin Der Fluss
Dreams - Slug Street Disko
Aghast View - Pay Off (Dub Remix)
Teto Preto - Em D+Ìvidas

Flaty – Mixtape For W Λ V E S 040

Proud to present a new mix from Patricia Kokett.
"The music of the Lithuanian producer Gediminas Jakubka, who turns into Patricia on stage, balances between borders. Patricia Kokett blends rave with mysticism, futuristic industrial with shamanic noise and various reworked voices with hypnotic output. The latest release - Bizarr LP - is upcoming on Knekelhuis imprint on the 11th of May. 
This mix contains of music I played in clubs before corona shutdown and the most recently found tracks. The podcast represents what I love the most - ritualistic aspect melted together with voices from diverse mouths, tripped out atmosphere and a strong emotional tie."

In partnership with Scene city Moscow-based partner @klammklang, we are honoured to welcome in the framework of our @noodsradio residency Vlad Dobrovolski (@vladislav-dobrovolski), a multidisciplinary artist born in Omsk, Russia. Being born and grown up in Siberian city, Vlad collaborated with Japanese artists for several years. They gave him rejoice and passion for exploring both experimental electronics and traditional types of music, as well as tendency to mix them up. Vlad is known not only for his sound works, but also as a ​Cyland Audio Archive​ ex-curator. Among its vast array of experimental music releases ranging from Akira Rabelais to Nick Edwards. Apart from his own name Dobrovolski operates on quite a number of monikers and is involved in several other projects. He crafts mellow, introverted and bright techno under the Derski moniker and drowns us in nostalgic sunshine drones with Fitz Ellarald. He also takes part in the spaced-out synth trio kurvenschreiber, creates playful improvised soundscapes by manipulating lost tape artefacts in the S A D duo, participates in Las Kalugas and Piam.
His creative method for mixtapes is based on selecting songs that are similar in mood. Vlad wishes to transfer his experience from deep childhood via this mixtape. His parents left him alone with the record player. It is called Radiola (radiogram?). He played the collection of fairy-tales records and amuse himyself in this way when his parents were busy with their adult matters. These fairy tales records were very different in mood and content.

Scene city #11 w/ Vlad Dobrovolski (13.06.20, Noods Radio)

"German producer Benedikt Frey likes to challenge both DJs and dancers by writhing unpredictable tracks, with the aim to push against the boundaries of functional and "safe" dance music. Although he had been producing for five years previously, his career upped a notch in 2015 upon releasing five separate records, among those Ghosts best demonstrates his penchant for shambling groove. From there, his productions went from strength to strength, culminating in a full-length album in 2018, Artificial, which abandoned club sensibility in favour of low-slung chugging rhythms. Frey's debut single, 2010's Escape/Indica, saw a low-key release on Aldebaran, causing him to step back for a couple of years to further his craft. Upon his return in 2012 Frey had amassed a wealth of material, which he spread across three labels: releasing Fairytale on Mule Electronics, Running in Circles on Live at Robert Johnson, and Delinquencies, the latter of which he released through his newly minted record label Love Pain Sunshine Rain (aka Lopasura). Frey once again stored most of his music for a further two years, springing back in 2015 with another barrage of records; amongst them were his breakthrough EP Ghosts on Crème Organization and a full-length album, 2015's Two Pole Resonance, recorded as @initinit in collaboration with @nadia-d-al and released via @hivern_disc . Frey released his debut EP for ESP Institute in 2016, titled The Lobbyist, before going on to release his debut solo album, 2017's Artificial, on the same label. He spent two years recording the album, deciding to veer away from a record full of high tempo tracks, instead delivering a broader take on his ramshackle productions, partly inspired by industrial music."
